Just re-reading my favorite fantasy series for the umpteenth time

    I just started reading book one, the world building is absolutely fantastic. I feel most high fantasy books are really hit or miss for me, but I understand now why Sanderson is considered top tier. Looking forward to the rest of the books, and also the Mistborn series!

    It’s amazing worldbuilding but fair warning, many consider the Stormlight books to drop considerably in writing quality for the last entries. Take them slow and enjoy the ride without burning yourself out on the (huge) amount of pages.

    Mistborn on the other hand, you can feel that they’re somewhat older books of his, with a few more awkward/obvious character elements but they stay fantastic throughout.

    The payoff in Mistborn made the series for me. Really stuck the landing.

    If anything, it could have used more meat at the center. Book one as a high fantasy heist was great. Two and three felt like a sprint through what should have maybe been another hundred pages each.

    But it's still my favorite Sanderson work to date, not including the last three books of Wheel of Time
